Six days left for SRF campaign

The Standardbred Retirement Foundation’s (SRF) 12 Days Of Giving campaign is a great way to help a retired harness racing horse in need during the holidays, and every kindness is tax-deductible.

SRF’s holiday wish list only has 6 days to be filled, and only a few days are left! It ends on Thursday, December 23, 2021. A few generous gifts have been received without accompanying notes indicating which holiday gift to wrap for the horses; we are allocating them to the greatest needs. We do know that one particular gift is giving four horses life! We are grateful to our wonderful friends.

1. Fill the hayloft for a month for geldings that stand by and flirt with the girls. $1200.

2. Protect our donated gator/tractor we call Alli-gator from the rain and snow with a cover. It took 32 years to get one, it needs to last another 32 years. $229.00

3. A new pair of New Balance sneakers for one of the 4 with ouchy feet, poor guys have a little bit of founder. $150. each.

4. We have many loving their senior days in pasture, but need a special meal stirred up

every day! Help one of the 18 fuzzy noses at the NY location for a month. $100.

5. Retire one Granny or Gramps to your care and SRF will give you up to $350 a year for veterinary care-it’s our new CHAPS Program. This gift is priceless!

6. Our English, and Western saddles have way too many miles, please help so we can keep these kids in training so they can get a loving home. $450

7. 75 fuzzy noses at one location party all day long, tossing hay around! Let’s put an end to that! Six hay racks will do it, each is – $329 each

8. A visit from the equine dentist for the new ones from the slaughter-line that likely haven’t seen a dentist in a decade. We have 14 waiting on the man with the rasp. $50. for each.

9. Would you fill the feed tubs for the girls during the Sweetheart month, February! Thirty-five are at one location and one is sweeter than the next. $1100

10. Sponsor our presence at the PA. Horse Expo in February 2022. The expenses are costly, but it is so important to be there. The booth, the travel, hotel room – sponsor part or all, and come say hello! $250-$1400.

11. Software assistance and programs, technology is ever-changing and we need to keep up with it to be efficient. $500-2500.

12. This certainly should be number one on our list. There are several Standardbreds weighed and tagged to ship for slaughter right now that we are trying to help. Would you help one by providing the gift to get released from the slaughter line, help with their quarantine and care, offer a home, you may know one? https://www.adoptahorse.org/emergency-horses-need-help
